Just right effects
No hundreds of effects and loads of knobs which you don’t use. Each effect has been made to enhance the sample intelligently.

Clean Samples
All the samples are recorded using Sennheiser MD 441U and Shure SM81 mics, with Apogee converters and preamps. Recorded at 44100Hz, 24bit.

Perfect Ambience
